Seattle could be considering a quarterback as a possible replacement for Matt Hasselbeck down the line, but I believe the Seahawks have too many needs to take a quarterback this early, and will likely draft a quarterback in the later rounds.

Rob Rang of NFLDraftscout.com has the Seahawks selecting Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan at No. 6 and Iowa offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga at No.14, while his co-worker Chad Reuter has Seattle picking Bulaga at No. 6 and Clemson running back C.J. Spiller at No. 14.

I think at this point the Seahawks will likely take a defensive end at No. 6 unless someone like Eric Berry slide down to them. And then at No. 14 I think Seattle will take the best offensive tackle available. However, in an ideal situation I think Seattle would like to trade down from the No. 6 pick to pick up a pick in the third round.

Seattle wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh will be a guest host NFL Access this afternoon at 4 p.m., as he continues to prepare himself for a television career after his playing career is over.
